Along with agriculture and livestock farming, the mills were not only one of the main sources of income in the Dhron Valley, but also the primary breadwinners of the population. They also shaped the upper Dhron Valley, as the use of hydropower was essential in pre-technological times. The "Heckenmühle" (Hedge Mill) here in the Waldbach Valley was already recorded on maps at the beginning of the 19th century. Since the miller families also farmed, the Waldbach stream ran through an open meadow valley at that time. For a long time, the mill was operated by a Hinzerath milling community. After World War II, the mill was abandoned. The bricks were gradually reused.
